Better than the critics are saying.

(Review From Amazon)
General Comments:
Before purchasing this, I was surprised to see the extremely negative reviews (one star?). The critics said it's too flimsy to be worth $40, the door on the head doesn't stay shut, that it doesn't include enough characters, and that the shoe doesn't stay on.Personally, I found the size, quality, and features of the clubhouse rather impressive. Sure, the shoe attaches, not securely, but there's no reason for it to attach firmly. The unit as a whole is well-made and substantial for the price.I wanted to buy a full set of Mickey's animated friends (the clubhouse is cleverly designed for the animated characters), but they cost about $10 each. The most affordable route for that is to buy the set of 8 for $70, but with $20 in shipping, that's over $130 for the whole clubhouse + friends. Fortunately I found a Mickey's Clubhouse Figure Set (non-animated) for a fraction of the cost, and my 4 year old boy is delighted to have the whole cast. If it's worth it to you to have the characters move and talk to each other, unload the extra cash for the animated characters.

Suprised that Disney would support a design this lousy

(Review From Amazon)
General Comments:
All the reviews about poor quality are spot on. The door on mickey's head is the most annoying. They designed this thing with absolutley no way for it to stay closed!!! It really sucked to see my son get so excited to get this toy, and then get sooo upset because it doesn't work right. I hear "fix it Daddy" more than anything else when my son is playing with this. I have to use half a roll of tape to keep this darn thing together, plus the characters talk in the wrong voices half the time! I expect more from Disney than this!!!

Great toy even with flaws

(Review From Amazon)
General Comments:
Let me start off by saying that my 2 year old daughter loves this toy. There are a few issues in terms of build quality but nothing some super glue for plastic modeling didn't fix. I simply super glued the slide in place and it hasn't come off since. Use Super Glue found in the models section of the toy department at Wal-Mart. I also think that many reviewrs here have unrealistic expectations - it's a toy, NOT Mickey's actual Clubouse - lol. When you see how nicely the figures move and talk and the overall look of the toy it's well worth the money. All the figures are well made and work fine on the bases they come with and especially in the base for the clubhouse. Even my 6 year old son plays with my daughter and gets a kick out of switching the characters around. It sparks the child's imagination for role playing based on the show and looks just like the clunhouse which they love. Could the build quality have been a bit better with the slide? Sure. The door to the foot could have been a tad bigger but again it's not a scale model - it's a toy. I'm getting one for my three year old niece - with the super glue as the first accessory.

Piece of Junk for the money - Kids are very frustrated by the toy.

(Review From Amazon)
General Comments:
This thing is junk. If you don't buy all the extras it will do almost nothing interactive.
The door falls off if your child picks it up or moves the house.
The slide falls off if you even look at it funny.
The engineer that designed this needs his butt kicked.
Disney ought to refund all the money made from these.
There ought to be a major false advertising and misleading lawsuit here.

My two sons (4&5)were very excited to get it for Christmas. As soon as we opened it, put it together and started playing - it just fell apart.

I assemble pecision machinery and fabricate equipment for a living. I'm not putting it together wrong - the design is just junk.

I finally resorted to using "JB Weld" to hold the door and slide on.
If your careful it can still look good, but for a $40 toy they can do better.

Find a better toy for your children.
